Lace Automatic translate

The art of weaving lace has a fairly rich history and has long been of interest. Weaving received its main development in the Middle Ages; in Russia during the Soviet era, this art was considered to be bourgeois.

Already in the twenties and thirties, lace weaving became a unique folk craft of Russia. There were about 17 regions in the country where weaving was done. Subsequently, some of them became crafts; in others, lace was woven only for themselves.

Until the mid-30s, lace products were only exported, this fact had a significant impact on the assortment, material and weaving techniques. Different craftswomen had their favorite patterns, which were combined in different ways, turned into traditional motifs. For dimensional lace was characterized by a wide variety of drawings, manners and methods of execution. Various piece things were woven with measured laces - napkins, bedspreads, collars, tablecloths, cloaks, linen trimmings, etc. At first, these things were done in the modern style. They were characterized by plant motifs and complex shapes.

Of great importance for the development of hand lace was the creation of specialized vocational schools. Over time, patterns on lace products became more saturated, and the motifs were recognizable and clearer. Thanks to the talent and skill of Russian lace-makers, the concept of “Russian lace” has taken its rightful place in the history of world culture. It is customary to distinguish two types of Russian lace - numerical and chipping. The difference lies in the fact that the chopper is woven according to the pattern shown on paper. Numerical lace weave without a pattern according to the loop count, they are characterized by symmetrical patterns consisting of geometric shapes. There are very few laces left to date.
